I saw these adorablebow belt buckles in the craft store a while back and thought they would make adorable belts. The top one is a rose gold and then the bottom on is a black (Dritz brand). I had 50% off coupons and purchased both of them (normally $7.99 each). The pink & black is a thick fold over elastic (Dritz brand, $2.99- they have new designs, and come 1 yard in a package) and then 5/8″ plaited braid trim. Obviously get the length that you need for your waist and sew them around the buckle. I had to hand sew the pink braided trim as my sewing machine kept jamming.
Here is the pink and black one. I thought it looked kind of cute worn off to the side.
I love how they turned out. Super easy, less than $20 (even if you paid full price!) and looks adorable on a pair of jeans. I think would also look great on cropped pants but I am too short to wear them
